Shi Xianggu turned her head and smiled faintly at Wu Ping, the ice on her face that seemed to be eternal instantly froze, blooming with a hint of spring, which made people feel extremely warm. "The intention of General Wu and the brothers of the righteous army is not that I do not accept it, but that I cannot accept it. Because those villagers need you, and they are already very close to their destination, but no one knows when the danger will occur, so I hope that General Wu and your subordinates will continue to follow the villagers to Haichang and leave the shore as soon as possible. ”

"This ......" Wu Ping knew that Shi Xianggu also had good intentions, but thinking of the 70,000 or 80,000 rebels, but under the protection of 3,000 people, they left in such a gloomy way, which made Wu Ping feel a little unfair in his heart.

Because, Wu Ping is also a very proud person, an all-rounder who thinks that he can govern the country and martial arts, and it is precisely because of his ability that he can become the leader of this righteous army, he is unwilling to leave like this, and hand over his back road to Shi Xianggu, at least, he is also a gentleman.

"General Shi, your kindness, Wu Mou's heart, those brothers, must protect the villagers, however, I still have a cavalry under my command, although it is not much, only three hundred and fifty horsemen, but they are all elite, this time against the enemy, the opponent is all cavalry, I think, these brothers should be able to help some small favors, and please ask General Shi to agree." Wu Ping hugged his fist at Shi Xianggu and said sincerely.

Shi Xianggu's brows were almost wiped and frowned slightly, and she twisted and loosened, Wu Ping's words had already been said to this, and if she really wanted to blindly refuse, it was not only a matter of politeness, but it would make Wu Ping feel that she had despised them, so after Shi Xianggu was silent for a while, she immediately nodded decisively: "Okay, then there will be General Lao Wu and all the brothers of the rebels, but since we are fighting together with friendly forces......

"I'll wait for General Shi's military orders." Wu Ping was overjoyed, and immediately replied with his fists held high, and all the generals behind him also spoke in unison.

"Well, I'm sorry if I'm pressed for time, huh...... I wonder if General Wu has ever seen the dense forest over there? Shi Xianggu glanced at the terrain around the tidal flats, and pointed to the mountain forest behind the open land.

"Please also ask General Wu to lead your men into the mountains and forests to hide, but without a military order, you are not allowed to attack without authorization, and I hope General Wu will keep it in mind. In addition, I also asked General Wu's brothers to get some ordnance, and I believe that when the time comes, it will be helpful to the brothers' combat effectiveness. After Shi Xianggu finished saying this, without waiting for Wu Ping to agree, she turned her head and ordered the logistics staff officer beside her to get three hundred and fifty revolvers and ammunition.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Hearing this, Wu Ping couldn't help but be overjoyed, after getting along for a few days, he had seen this kind of seemingly exquisite, but in fact full of power, the important thing is that the musket that can be fired continuously, his cavalry really has this kind of thing, and the combat power can be more than doubled.

"We ought to do what we are told." Wu Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart, and after receiving the order loudly, he turned around and greeted the cavalry who had gathered at the foot of the cliff, and soon, after each hand had a revolver and twelve bullets were distributed, these elated knights under the leadership of Wu Ping and the people of Wu Ping raised a cloud of smoke and dust, and went straight to the mountain forest.

"Miss, do you really want to use them? In case ......" Xiao Bai next to him spoke with some concern at this time.

Shi Xianggu nodded: "This righteous army can raise troops in Zhili, and it can also fight for so long in the heavy place defended by this Qing court, which shows that the combat effectiveness of this righteous army should not be weak, you see those knights of this cavalry, according to intelligence, most of this cavalry are from Xiangma, and those who can be bandits in this Zhili Shandong area are not simple people, and this Wu Ping is indeed a capable character, otherwise, how can he recover these people for his use." ”

"Besides, since they have the courage to stand up, then, of course, they know that life and death are fate." Shi Xianggu had now regained her decisiveness and coldness as a pirate leader.

By less than a quarter of an hour when Wu Ping had hidden in the mountains and forests, Shi Xianggu could already feel that the earth seemed to tremble gently.

"Report, the reconnaissance post has found a large number of cavalry, less than three miles away from us, and the reconnaissance cavalry has ......" An intelligence officer hurriedly ran up the cliff and reported loudly to Shi Xianggu.

"Needless to say, I've seen them already." Shi Xianggu's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze landed at the end of that avenue, and the faint smoke and dust had already begun to rise.

Gradually, the smoke became thicker and denser, and at last it was like a storm of sand and dust that came from the ground. Tengger deftly controlled the mount on his body with his legs, and ran briskly with that light and graceful step, and by this time, they could already see that the nameless ferry on the side of the Xuanhui River was focused on a large number of people, but on the other side of the river there were more, and this large procession extended to the end of the earth, as if it had not been broken.

"Damn Han people, cunning like a bunch of despicable foxes, but you can't escape from my hands after all." Tengger gritted his teeth angrily, he suffered a lot along the way, the other party was too insidious, not only set up a lot of obstacles on the way back, it seemed that a kind of ghost thing that would explode was buried in the field, which made them suffer a lot along the way, because it was a march, the cavalry of the brigade was often connected by men and horses, and every explosion would make several brave Mongolian warriors and their mounts lose the ability to move, bringing great damage and even death.

Later, they had to leave the avenue and run along the wheat fields or hills of the avenue, and the wounded knights were left behind, leaving a few riders to look after them, and the rest went on, except for the last night, when they had rested all night to make sure that the horses had enough strength to sprint and assault, and the rest of the time was spent on the road, but even so, they were still half a day late.

And now, seeing the thief on this side and there of the nameless ferry, Tengger felt that the anger in his chest that had been suppressed for too long would be vented.

Tengger struggled to pull out the scimitar on his waist, and pursued for two whole days, but he never had a chance to stain this treasure knife with a trace of blood, which made Tengger extremely unhappy.

"General, don't you wait a minute, our rear team hasn't caught up yet." Another Mongolian general next to him hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Tengger, who was about to lose control, and shouted loudly. "The other party will not be able to leave for a while, as long as we gather the team, this distance of more than a mile, we are there in an instant, as long as we seize the pontoon, then they will become the little lambs trembling at our feet."

"Alright, Tulu, let them go a little faster." Although Tengger's temper was short-tempered, he quickly calmed down after hearing the persuasion of his subordinates around him. "Just let them live one more pillar of incense, and after one pillar of incense, those cowards who lost their team don't have to wait for them."

A low, desolate horn whimpered on the riverbank, and when it was heard, the crowd waiting to cross the pontoon subconsciously twitched.

A little frightened, but fortunately, the cheers of the marines and the rebel soldiers who stayed behind gave them a sense of comfort and security, and they gradually calmed down, and under the urging of the rebel soldiers, they once again quickened their pace, trying to make themselves walk a little faster, away from those brutal officers and soldiers.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"We can't wait any longer, if we wait any longer, there will be only a few people left, and when the time comes, they will really launch a ruthless attack, and they would rather leave some people behind than set fire to the pontoon bridge, and when the time comes, how should we explain to the manager." Tengger's gaze penetrated the snowflakes that fluttered and drifted down, looked at the figures on the five pontoon bridges, and then turned his head to look around, at this time, no less than 2,500 heroic Mongolian cavalrymen were already focused on him, and their breath was stirred by the cold in the air, turning into a trace of white vapor.

"My brothers, my warriors, have you rested enough? Get out of here, it's time for us to hunt the lambs. Tengger's brutal voice echoed through the wilderness, and the Mongol knights laughed wildly as if they had been beaten with blood, as if it were just an ordinary steppe hunt, and that their opponents were not even wolves, but a herd of trembling lambs.

Tengger's order soon reached the ears of every Mongolian cavalryman, and soon, five sparse stragglers were formed, slowly driving the horses on their bodies, trampling on the white snowflakes, until they turned black, turned into mud, and formed hoof prints, which dotted the snow with incomparably dirt.

At this time, Wu Ping bit a dead grass in his mouth, and under the cover of the tall trees in the mountain forest, a pair of sharp eyes looked coldly at the Mongolian iron horsemen who seemed to be strolling leisurely.

"Damn, it's really a Mongolian cavalry." Beside him, a burly man fiddled with the revolver in his hand, but his eyes never left the cavalry who were slowly moving forward, and it was he who was scolding at this moment.

"There are at least two or three thousand here, and there are still coming one after another, it seems that there are really four thousand Mongolian iron horsemen, so those brothers in black are afraid that they are ......" Wu Peng glanced at his clan brother Wu Ping with some concern, and said in a low voice.

"Look at it again, if there is a case at that time, we will be the last new force, good steel, we have to use it on the blade." Wu Ping viciously spit out the grass root in his mouth, and reached out to grasp the revolver that was stuck diagonally on the waistband of his trousers.

"Don't worry, it's not like our horse team hasn't fought with these prairie people, hmph, who is afraid of whom." The burly man who had just spoken hung the corners of his eyes and said coldly. His words represent the voices of these righteous soldiers who are not afraid of death.
